This document came with my copy of Pokemon Fire Red Omega when I downloaded it, and it's quite useful. I figure you could all make good use of it. I'll just paste the content.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES
- The starters are now Smoochum, Elekid & Magby.
- All Wild Pokemon in Grass, on cave floors etc and first time trainer battles have been changed. The majority of VS Seeker battles have been left untouched.
- The majority of fishing and Surfing locations have had their Wild encounters edited to fit with the change in rods and allow a wider variety.
- The Old Rod is now located in Viridian, north of the coffee guy.
- The Good Rod is now located in Vermilion, where the Old Rod used to be.
- The Super Rod has not changed locations.
- Small patches of grass have been added to Viridian, Vermilion, Celadon and Cerulean with new Pokemon inside.
- The Old Rod no longer fishes just Magikarp; the majority of areas early on in the game relinquish valuable water Pokemon when fished into with the Old Rod.
- Likewise, most midgameish water will have good Pokemon when fishing with the Good Rod.
- The National Dex is obtained as soon as you get the PokeDex.
- Some new areas have been added - these are called Chronum Tower, Ancient Labyrinth and Yggdrasill Forest. These are not accessible until the end of the game.
- Altering Cave has been changed into a teleporting hub, and now allows you to warp to the aformented Chronum Tower and Ancient Labyrinth, as well as Navel Rock and Birth Island. However it is only open after you give the Sapphire to Celio.
- The starters from the Kanto, Johto and Hoenn regions are given by people around Kanto. Be sure to talk to new people in PokeCenters, town squares etc as they may be the ones who give you a starter! Expect to see the Hoenn starters first, then the Johto starters and the Kanto starters last.
- All Gym Leaders, Giovanni battles and Elite Four battles now have six Pokemon to deal with.
- Certain music has been changed ie the Gym Leader/Elite Four music has been swapped with the Elite Four music from Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald.
- The Safari Zone has been remodelled to incorporate a wider variety of Pokemon; while the structure is still the same the areas themselves are notably different.
- Levels throughout the game are overall higher; this is to compensate for the rather larger chunks of EXP you might receive.
- Some new items have been added throughout the game, including some stones, a Lucky Egg, etcetera.
- Some legends have had their levels changed.
- There are some new trainers but not very many at all.
- Trades in the game have been edited.
- Some marts have had their stock edited, and the prices of items such as Ultra Balls have been lowered.
- Some extra dialogue has been added for the second round of the Elite Four.
- The E4 is now challengeable anytime, even when Lorelei is at Four Island. While this is a paradox, it had to be done to allow the E4 to be challenged at all.
- Eevee is now Level 30 when obtained.
- The fossils are now Level 40 when obtained.
- Lapras in Silph. Co has been replaced with Castform.
- Someone else will give you Lapras, but it's up to you to find them!
- Featured throughout the game are some cameo battles of my closest internet friends (though there are one or two missing.) You won't encounter them until the second round E4 is open.

- Sky Attack now has 70% accuarcy, but no longer needs a charging turn. It also only flinches 20% of the time.
- Luster Purge & Mist Ball are now 100 power.

Known Glitches
- Some trainers will act as though you have already beaten them. I've fixed literally a few of these but fixing too many of them actually causes worse problems.
- The person guarding the Cerulean Cave will now disappear when you go onto Route 4 but reappear when you get back into Cerulean City. This was done because of a glitch that would otherwise prevent you from getting into Cerulean Cave.
- Collecting completely newly placed items ie the Water Stone in Route 6; these will still disappear even if your item bag is full. The exception is the Lucky Egg since that was edited from an item on that route originally.

Yeah, it's a lot. It should be helpful, though, seeing as there were a ton of changes made, and it's almost entirely different from Fire Red (other than story). Let me know if you know anything else I should add to this.

how do we find celebi in the Yggdrasill Forest?? A list that shows all their locations says he is supposed to be stationary there but all I can find is a big tree at the top and can't find anything I missed.

Are you sure that this is correct? when I played through this, I noticed differences. ex. Metang learned scary face at level 26 and not metal claw. other than small differences, I would think this is correct.

yakturl43- celebi should be right underneath the big tree.
